The quote I have chosen to focus on is “Literature is not only a mirror; it is a map, a geography of the mind” by Margaret Atwood. This quote embodies the story I have chosen to focus on which is Araby by James Joyce. To me the quote means that literature not only shows you who you are but also your thoughts and feelings as a writer, some writing pieces are very strongly written where you could tell the author feels strongly about what they’re sharing with us, as well as when they narrate for characters in certain writing pieces. In Araby James Joyce voices how the protagonist feels throughout this journey of emotions towards a stranger he is infatuated with. The author takes us inside the mind of the main character describing his thoughts and feelings, he is very eager and borderline obsessed with this girl til the end of the story where he starts to feel disillusioned.
